Aaron and I both grew up in Montana in the Flathead Valley.  We have mostly been in Alaska since 2002. We eloped here in March of '02 and were married on Point Worenzoff, overlooking the Cook Inlet in Anchorage, at sunset.  It was perfect, saying our vows in blue jeans and winter coats, of course getting the rings on was a challenge as our hands were nearly numb from the biting cold.   After spending a week exploring this great state, we decided once I graduated from nursing school in Oregon that we would make Alaska our home. 

I graduated from nursing school June 6, 2002.  We packed everything we owned in a Uhaul and embarked on the long drive up the Alaska Highway.   I started work at Alaska Regional Hospital on their Cardiovascular unit.  We stayed in Alaska for four years and then moved back home to Montana.  We were only there for two years before we decided we missed Alaska too much.  We've been back since 2008 and have since built ourselves a home in Anchorage.
